I'm here at the computer with my dad sitting in the next room, and I've relayed him two stories from Free Republic in the last hour or so: This particular one (about the new Kiwi "PM"), and one about "Ramsay" Yousef being arrested by the Israelis. Of coures, it's the MP and not the PM that was sworn in in NZ, and it was Hanan Yousef and not Ramsay who was arrested.

He now doesn't trust me with the news.

This is why the rule of "Don't Change the Title" is there.

But you did get my attention with this one. :^)

>Winston Peters is half Maori and half Scottish descent.

Winston Peters is a good man, a strong voice for sanity and is a polar opposite to the Marxist, leftist, green, homosexual agenda of Hell-in Clarke and her Labour party which is labouring for evil and globalist control.

Helen Clarke is the one who dismissed NZ's "silly notions of sovereignty."  It is apparent from Winston Peters remarks above, that he has not dismissed them.

>Maverick MP Winston Peters rode to electoral success last month by campaigning against immigration, and since the election has made even more virulent and hysterical attacks on the country's migrants and refugees.

"Maverick," ha!  The world could use more of his common sense.  The article is liberal swill.  His virulent and hysterical attacks are conservative defenses against a cultural takeover!  Liberal attacks are such as those done by Hamas which supports Palestinian suicide bombers in Israel and world takeover.

The Islamic agenda is for world control and they define "Peace" as world submission to Islam.  The American Muslim Council and Council on American-Islamic Relations ("CAIR") are Hamas front organizations.

Tolerating Intolerance: The Challenge of Fundamentalist Islam in Western Europe -- This an excellent link on the effect of Muslim immigration in Europe.  MUST READ

Also note the similar effect in Denmark.   SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK? - by Daniel Pipes.  Excerpt:

August 27, 2002 -- A Muslim group in Denmark announced a few days ago that a $30,000 bounty would be paid for the murder of several prominent Danish Jews, a threat that garnered wide international notice. Less well known is that this is just one problem associated with Denmark's approximately 200,000 Muslim immigrants. The key issue is that many of them show little desire to fit into their adopted country.

For years, Danes lauded multiculturalism and insisted they had no problem with the Muslim customs - until one day they found that they did. Some major issues:

* Living on the dole: Third-world immigrants - most of them Muslims from countries such as Turkey, Somalia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Iraq - constitute 5 percent of the population but consume upwards of 40 percent of the welfare spending.

* Engaging in crime: Muslims are only 4 percent of Denmark's 5.4 million people but make up a majority of the country's convicted rapists, an especially combustible issue given that practically all the female victims are non-Muslim. Similar, if lesser, disproportions are found in other crimes.

* Self-imposed isolation: Over time, as Muslim immigrants increase in numbers, they wish less mix with the indigenous population. A recent survey finds that only 5 percent of young Muslim immigrants would readily marry a Dane.

* Importing unacceptable customs: Forced marriages - promising a newborn daughter in Denmark to a male cousin in the home country, then compelling her to marry him, sometimes on pain of death - are one problem.

Another is threats to kill Muslims who convert out of Islam. One Kurdish convert to Christianity, who went public to explain why she had changed religion, felt the need to hide her face and conceal her identity, fearing for her life.

* Fomenting anti-Semitism: Muslim violence threatens Denmark's approximately 6,000 Jews, who increasingly depend on police protection. Jewish parents were told by one school principal that she could not guarantee their children's safety and were advised to attend another institution. Anti-Israel marches have turned into anti-Jewish riots. One organization, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, openly calls on Muslims to "kill all Jews . . . wherever you find them."

* Seeking Islamic law: Muslim leaders openly declare their goal of introducing Islamic law once Denmark's Muslim population grows large enough - a not-that-remote prospect. If present trends persist, one sociologist estimates, every third inhabitant of Denmark in 40 years will be Muslim.

>* Importing unacceptable customs:
On our Australian 60 minutes last night was a woman who was raped by three at a train station then carted off to a park then raped by 25 individuals,Lebanese Muslims,they all called each other on mobile phones to come join the fun,at one stage they even hosed her off with a fire hose before the last 2 raped her.They
called her 'Australian pig' etc.

Rodney King asked, "Why can't we all get along together?"

The answer is simple.  Some people are just downright evil!

Could you please change the title of this post so it's accurate?

It's thrown some of us for a loop. : )

It should read "New Zealand swears in first Muslim MP"

NEW Zealand saw the swearing in of its first-ever Muslim MP this week, when Ashraf Choudhary took the Koran in his hand and swore to serve his country.

And his country is....

Islam?

Exactly. Swearing on a Koran to establish the "Dar Al Islam" in NZ.

Winston Peters seems to speak about what is on his mind and I commend him for it. Do you suppose he is regarded a right-wing Wacko by the liberals in New Zealand? I have not followed the politics "from down under" What is your take on the situation there?

I dont really care what any of these damn freaking muslims have to say, Id prefer them all burning in a horrendous explosion and be done with the demented bastards. I have read the koran and anyone who wants to call themselves a muslim is a freaking nutcase the koran exhorts its followers to use any means to further their sick crappy religion. I challenge anyone of sound mind to explain to me any peacful aspect of the koran there is none case closed kill the bastards I say.
